🔐custody

The right · the mandate · the fact — and the licence that pays for it

Custody is the heaviest regulatory pillar in crypto: MiCA CASP Art.75, NY BitLicense / Trust Charter, FinCEN MSB, plus segregation, capital, liability obligations. Regul8 covers custody from four angles — conceptual (Ownership · Custody · Possession brief), design (Authority wizard), XRPL-technical (10-method matrix), and regulatory (CASP diagnostic). This page bundles them.
